From 427503519739e779c0db8afe876c1b33f3ac60ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 11:51:54 +0100 Subject: futex: Update comments and docs about return values of arch futex code The architecture implementations of 'arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()' and 'futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()' are permitted to return only -EFAULT, -EAGAIN or -ENOSYS in the case of failure. Update the comments in the asm-generic/ implementation and also a stray reference in the robust futex documentation.
